Narrator:
In the meta-aeon after the great Yeren fell on the Meta-Day of Flowers, in the meta-days before the meta-time of the patriarch, Noah, and before the meta-time of the Flood of many countless worlds that is known as Earth, there was once a man who lived in the West of the Ways, in the region between two rivers, and his name was Adam, the first man who is the common ancestor of all mankind, the Patriarch of Patriarchs. He was the chief of his own tribe, and was considered by all to be a fair and just ruler, wise in word and admirable in deed, all in accordance with the grace of the All-Mighty who would guide him and his People even after Adam had sinned once long ago. His tribe was barefoot and dust-bitten, herding their humble flocks between the ancient monolith-cities of the West. They were a hardy people, withstanding many trials and hardships, defeating mighty monsters and working glorious deeds in the name of the All-Mighty.
When Adam was over thirty-five thousand years old, having reigned as chief of his tribe for fifteen meta-epochs, in a meta-aeon when mankind has not the limit of one hundred years of age and can live for a thousand to a million years in accordance with the grace of the All-Mighty, he and his People came upon a hidden valley, which was fertile and abundant with life.
It was the Paradise of Eden.
The place where Adam and his wife, Hawwah, the Mother of All the Living, had once lived.
Adam and his wife couldn't help but cry with gentle tears for after many wanderings throughout the Ways of the Known and Unknown Multiverse, they were finally home.
His people, tired of their wanderings as a result of their sin which they must atone and in anticipation of the Hebrew's forty years journey in the wilderness of the desert and in anticipation for the All-Mighty's fasting for forty days and forty nights where he would eventually be tempted by his ETERNAL ADVERSARY and fully succeed with divine victory, asked that they were to remain there in the valley and live there in peace and prosperity, and after much deep thought and deep prayer to the All-Mighty, Adam agreed to this request with humility in accordance with the All-Mighty's divine will, with the Cherubim Rank Angelus who were stationed in Eden allowing them to pass once more.
Within the valley, amongst the many animals and fruiting plants that lived there, two trees stood in the center of the garden. These trees were the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge, and they were watched by their twin guardians, the brother and sister who had stood guard since the time of the First Children of Yesod, many meta-aeons before even the Yeren.
The guardian of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was Lord Nahash, the Serpent of Eden, who was later named the Adversary, who kept watch over its secret power. He spoke of all the wonders that might be accomplished with the Tree's power, and would try to test man's skill and spirit, however, he would fail tremendously for the Scarlet King, when he was known as Lord Khahrahk, had done it before him which had made him writhed in anger and envy, falling into darkness, with the end result being eventually subjugated and subordinate to the Scarlet King as his Serpent for All Eternity.
The guardian of the Tree of Life was Lady Hakhama, the Great Voice of Eden, who was later named Lady Sophia, who would then later be known in the present meta-day as Lady Mekhane, the Goddess of Intelligence, Logic and Technology, the ancient elder deity who is to be mainly worshiped by the Church of the Broken God, kept watch over its gifts. She taught the proper use of knowledge, and methods by which life might be extended through copper and bronze, and would speak often of the directives of the All-Mighty, guiding humanity in accordance with Divine Law and Providence.
Here Adam now reigned as chief among the People of the Two Trees. He interpreted the edicts of the Voice for his people, and was gifted with the fruits of both, as was his wife, Hawwah. The two bore three sons, whose names were Hevel, Qayin, and Set.
Hevel became the protector and champion of the People of the Two Trees and carried with him the Tumbling Blade, which was both mercy and justice. He was a simple man who spoke little, but he was greatly skilled in combat and he defended the valley and the People from the beasts and demons that wandered the desert.
Qayin his brother was gifted in magic and storytelling, and became a great shaman. He would one day become chief of the tribe, and was held in high regard, equal to his brother Hevel.
Set was often forgotten by the passers of stories, for he was a humble man and never rose to the prominence of his brothers. He turned his mind away from martial glory and magical prowess, focusing instead upon the natural philosophies and the service of the poor. He among his brother's was the most pleasing to the All-Mighty due to his humility, trust, and complete dependence on him and would shower a multitude of blessings on him for as long as he would continue to walk the Ways.
Now the Serpent of Eden, who guarded the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and knew the secrets of deep magic, had looked to the East of the Ways, and saw in those regions a brewing shadow. A new power was rising within an ancient kingdom, a dark power that swallowed all in its path. Old gods and goddesses had been uncovered, and all their terrible rites now knew public practice. Most horrible of all, the Serpent of Eden saw the Scarlet King rising from the depths of the Abyss of Above and Below, rising to consume all of creation. The Serpent of Eden saw this, and, frightened at how the All-Mighty could permit such a thing to exist, then acted of his own will out of fear and pride. He wished to strike first, to cut down the shadow of the Daevas, the dark servants of the Scarlet King, before it could spread too far, to cut off the reaching hands of the Scarlet King before they could spread their foul influence further.
The Serpent of Eden approached Hawwah, for she was wiser than her husband due to experience, and spoke to her of the dangers to the East, and of the greatest gifts of the Tree of Knowledge that might be used against the Daevas. But she refused the gifts, for she could see the cost that would come of it as a result of having tasted said gift once long ago, to her continued contrition of sorrow as she utters prayers of mercy to the All-Mighty, to which the All-Mighty would accept immediately as he is a GOD of DIVINE MERCY and not just that of DIVINE HOLINESS and JUSTICE, to which is why the prophesy of the WOMAN and the CHILD was made referenced just for her and her husband, Adam, and also to that of the Scarlet King.
As it is written:
Latin Vulgate.
(Gn 3:15)
inimicitias ponam inter te et mulierem et semen tuum et semen illius ipsa conteret caput tuum et tu insidiaberis calcaneo eius
I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.
After the Serpent had failed to convinced Hawwah, the Serpent of Eden would next spoke to her son, Qayin, warning him of the shadow in the East of the Ways and revealing the secret knowledge to him, teaching him the most powerful magics and potent spells. He was to lead the march against the shadow in the East of the Ways.
This knowledge proved to be too great of a burden for Qayin to bear: in truth, it would be too great a burden for many of the gods and goddesses. Qayin's mind frayed under the strain of his hidden knowledge, and he lost that which he had once possessed, the eyes of a child and an uncovered spirit. He became withdrawn, eating little and sleeping less, and was filled with despair at the torment he now knew. His brother Hevel, at the urging of their mother Hawwah, spoke to him on this. An argument broke out over innocent words, rising in intensity until, in a fit of rage, Qayin struck down his brother Hevel with a stone.
It was at that moment when the very first murder began.
It was at that moment when Qayin, son of Adam and Hawwah, became the first murderer.
When Adam and Hawwah found out about this, they were filled with grief as they mourned for him for five days. Qayin was banished from the valley, mark with the sign of the curse, and left to wander in the wilderness of the desert for all until he truly repented of his sin and ask for the All-Mighty's forgiveness that he may be restored to what he once was, to which he never did until it was too late.
As it is written:
Latin Vulgate.
(Gn 4:9-16)
et ait Dominus ad Cain ubi est Abel frater tuus qui respondit nescio num custos fratris mei sum
And the Lord said to Cain: Where is thy brother Abel? And he answered: I know not: am I my brother's keeper?
dixitque ad eum quid fecisti vox sanguinis fratris tui clamat ad me de terra
And he said to him: What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth to me from the earth.
nunc igitur maledictus eris super terram quae aperuit os suum et suscepit sanguinem fratris tui de manu tua
Now therefore cursed shalt thou be upon the earth, which hath opened her mouth and received the blood of thy brother at thy hand.
cum operatus fueris eam non dabit tibi fructus suos vagus et profugus eris super terram
When thou shalt till it, it shall not yield to thee its fruit: a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be upon the earth.
dixitque Cain ad Dominum maior est iniquitas mea quam ut veniam merear
And Cain said to the Lord: My iniquity is greater than that I may deserve pardon.
ecce eicis me hodie a facie terrae et a facie tua abscondar et ero vagus et profugus in terra omnis igitur qui invenerit me occidet me
Behold thou dost cast me out this day from the face of the earth, and from thy face I shall be hid, and I shall be a vagabond and a fugitive on the earth: every one therefore that findeth me, shall kill me.
dixitque ei Dominus nequaquam ita fiet sed omnis qui occiderit Cain septuplum punietur posuitque Dominus Cain signum ut non eum interficeret omnis qui invenisset eum
And the Lord said to him: No, it shall not so be: but whosoever shall kill Cain, shall be punished sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, that whosoever found him should not kill him.
egressusque Cain a facie Domini habitavit in terra profugus ad orientalem plagam Eden
And Cain went out from the face of the Lord, and dwelt as a fugitive on the earth at the east side of Eden.
Hevel's spirit eventually returned to his body after five meta-days, for in those meta-days, the perilous Ways between the lands of the living, the lands of the dead, and the lands of many countless worlds of above, below, and beyond could still be walked easily by the meta-age old heroes of men. But his return was not met with rejoicing; for he remained distant from his family and friends, and was of dark demeanor. The entire People, seeing that their future chiefs, Qayin and Hevel were banished and their champions were now trapped by despair, and hearing rumors to the East of the Daevas growing ever stronger and reaching ever further West, cried out in pain.
When the shadow of the Daevas could no longer be ignored, Hevel eventually took up his sword, and went East. There he fought the Daevas for three and thirty meta-years, until he was heard of no more. Set too made actions of his own, building mighty bulwarks and defenses around the valley out of Lady Hahkama's copper servants, raising from the People an army to defend their home, praying to the All-Mighty for strength against evil that is now rising from the East.
Meta-years passed, and news of a great army from the East emerged, an army of powerful demonic servants, sent out to conquer the entire West, and at its head was the Butcher, Ab-Leshal, fiercest of the Daevite generals, endowed with frightening strength and terrifying sorceries. Many of the People fled, scattering themselves to the wind and the mercy of the outside.
Qayin, hearing of the doom that was to come to the People, returned to his home after exile, and was met there by the Butcher. Here, Qayin saw with horror that Ab-Leshal was in truth his brother Hevel, who in vanity had sworn himself to the dark gods of the Daevas and drunk deep of their black magics. Qayin once more took up a stone to slay his brother, and for this, Ab-Leshal tore off his arms, first the right, and then the left.
Ab-Leshal then set upon the valley and the People with his legions and sorceries and war-beasts, and all the might of the Daevas was shown. The People were slaughtered, even the elder Adam and Hawwah. Lady Hakhama, the Voice Who Spoke For GOD, was shattered, her body broken and looted. The Tree of Life stolen away, and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil set to flame. Lord Nahash, the Serpent of Eden, fled, first to the space-tower at Babel, and later on to the Library, where he remained there for his part in these things, but eventually, the Scarlet King had managed to caught up with him and forever bound him up to his service, in due part to the darkness that forever resides in the heart of the ancient Serpent of Eden. The Garden of Eden in the wilderness of the desert was reduced to ash, and those who were not killed were placed in chains, led back to the slave pits of the Daevas.
Set, forgotten by all, remained, protected by the last of his shattered defenses, and watched the ashes cool. He saw ahead the destruction of the world, and the victory of the Scarlet King, looming as if clouds on the horizon. And he was greatly afraid.
Set prayed for hope, and he was answered. For the Angelus of the All-Mighty were sent to him in haste.
A woman who wore a strange habit, not known in this meta-aeon until the meta-aeon of CHRIST, with the hebrew letter Tau worn around the neck in the shape of a cross, in the Paleo-Hebrew script, with a black veil that was worn around her head, who has ten angelic wings, with brown hair, with blue ancient eyes, hovering towards him with her beautiful dove-like wings that were spread out in order to give him comfort which works just as intended as he became very quiet out of reverence, fear, and awe, immediately recognizing the messengers of his LORD, bowing low towards the ground in humility.
This is Lady Gabriel.
A Seraphim Archangel Rank Angelus.
The Divine Messenger of the One Above All Others.
Accompanied with her are many countless Angelus of the Third Sphere which consists of the Principalities/Rulers, the Archangels, and the Angels, who spread out their dove like wings in order to also give comfort as well.
It was on that meta-moment when Lady Gabriel would speak to him words of comfort, reassurance, and a message from the MOST HIGH.
"Be still, son of Adam. Do not be afraid. I am Lady Gabriel. Divine Messenger of the All-Mighty. I and my sisters have come in answer to your humble prayers."
It was at that meta-moment when he was shown the path the meta-future would take. There was to be a Flood, until such a meta-time when the Scarlet King might truly be sealed off for a brief meta-moment until eventually being unsealed once more. A meta-period of safety within Yesod, where magic was hidden, and the King was trapped in his hellish realms. The war would be fought in secret, until such secrecy was no longer needed, for the time would eventually.
By the divine instructions that were set before him, Set gathered and chose thirty-six men and women to him, and established of them a sacred order, forever hidden. In absolute humility would they serve the world, passing their mantles from one generation to the next in secret, unknown even to themselves, until the very end of all things. They would be the ones who would forever set the balance of the scales.
This was to be the origin and the beginning of a sacred order that would be well renowned throughout the Known and Unknown Multiverse.
An order that would serve both GOD and Neighbor in accordance with the Free Will of All.
The Jedi Lords of the Holy Order.
After the following of the divine instructions, Set and the thirty-six men and women that were chosen were now about to be knighted under the presence of Lady Michael herself, along with Lady Gabriel, Lady Raphael, and her other four Seraphim Archangel sisters of the Angelus High Council as she said the sacred words of the knighting ceremony.
Lady Michael: "Do you solemnly swear to uphold the Divine Law, Order, and Providence of the One Above All Others in love, humility, and obedience?
Set and the Thirty-Six Men and Women: "We swear."
Lady Michael: "Do you solemnly swear to follow in the Divine Wisdom of the One Above All Others in love, humility, and obedience?"
Set and the Thirty-Six Men and Women: "We swear."
Lady Michael: "Do you solemnly swear to protect the Free Will of All Peoples in accordance with the Divine Will in love, humility, and obedience?"
Set and the Thirty-Six Men and Women: "We swear."
Lady Michael: (beginning to raise her holy starsaber, with her Seraphim Archangel Sisters raising their own holy starsabers) "Then by the right of this Holy Council, by the Divine Will that is eternally entrusted to me and to all my sisters, I dub thee, Jedi Lords of the Holy Order. Rise and give eternal glory that is due to his Divine Name."
Set and the Thirty-Six Men and Women: (begins to rise in obedience)
Lady Michael: "Today, you are all Jedi Lords of the Holy Order. The first of your kind. The Force of the One Above All Others speaks through us and has now spoken to you all. Through our actions, words, and prayers, the Force of the One Above All Others proclaims itself and what is real and true. Today, we are here to acknowledge what the Force of the One Above All Others has proclaimed. Go forth and serve the One Above All Others in mind, heart, and soul, loving both him and your fellow neighbor."
It was on that day, under the order of the Seven Seraphim Archangels of the Angelus, the Thirty-Six Jedi Lords scattered to distant nations of distant lands, and there they waited in prayer, patience, and perseverance, as doom came to Daevon in the East as the Angelus rained down Divine Justice from above.
Ab-Leshal had returned in triumph, but it was not to last. That part of him which was Hevel, who had played in the shadow of the Trees, who had loved his brothers and protected the People, still lived in his blackened soul, and this drove him mad. After the inner struggle, he repented of his sins and would begin to strike back against the Daevas whom had enslaved him, and with rage and fury cut down their idols, and slaughtered their priest-kings, and brought ruin to their city. The god Moloch, the Horned King Crowned in Shame, stood to face Hevel-Ab-Leshal, and he too was defeated, rendered a sickly shade of his own power. Elsewhere, the subjugated peoples of the world, who saw the end that was at hand, struck back at the Daevas, to sow the world with Daevite blood.
Hevel, son of Adam, who had cast down the gods of Daevon, raised his voice in challenge to the Scarlet King.
And the Scarlet King answered him.
Hevel, son of Adam, took up his sword, and the floodgates of the sky opened up with a Flood that would wipe this meta-aeon clean.
And in doing so, the All-Mighty called upon the world, for the first time since the WORD was spoken.
And the Known and Unknown Multiverse was called upon to witness.
This is but one part of the history of all mankind, fourth and final child-race of many worlds that are called as the Earth, from the Finding of the Two Trees to the Flood.
